Loch Erisobt. 



In a haul of the dredge taken just within the Channel connecting this loch with the 

 sea a large quantity of sandy nullipore and dead shells was brought up. In a superficial 

 examination of this, I observed, several species which we had not hitherto found, alive, such 

 as Pectunculus glycimeris, Trochus Montacuti, Circe minima, and a perfect (but dead) 

 example of Erato Iwvis. Time did not admit of a more complete examination of this 

 lot. 



Shiant Islands and Loch Maddy. 



A visit to the shores here at low water of spring tide did not reveal any special 

 features ; the mollusca were of the usual character found in such localities and consisted 

 of very large limpets and Trochi and vast quantities of Rissoa, Homalogyra, Skenca, 

 and Lacuna, all of commonly distributed species. The common Doris (tuberculata) and 

 an Eolis were also observed, also fry of the blue striped limpet {Helcion pellucidum), in 

 great abundance, but no adult examples were obtained of this species.
